Gabrielle & Christopher
Wedding Party
Erika McCracken
Maid of Honor
Erika and I met when I was 14 and she was 15. She had started dating my brother, Blake, and I instantly fell in love with her. She quickly became like a sister to me and we did everything together. When the four of us our together, Chris and Erika are the best pair of adventure buddies exploring caves, attempting to surf (and almost getting stuck in the ocean), and embarking on foot races up strangely steep hills. Blake and I hang back and just laugh. We are so lucky to have Erika our lives and I don't know what our family would do without her!
Dylan Videto
Best Man
Thanks to my poor memory, I don't actually remember when I first met Dylan. But I can say I remember many of the events afterword! From golfing every week in the summers to running an un-guardable pick and roll (basketball words) to him (and Kristen) buying me a questionable number of shots on my birthday, we had countless opportunities to become close friends. Dylan had been involved in so many weddings the last year that I felt bad asking, but I am glad I did! We are happy to have him involved!
Alyssa Krieger
Officiant
Alyssa and I met during an viewing party for ABC's "The Bachelor" on a literal prison base. Chris and I had just moved to Long Beach and I was completely desperate to make friends, so I accepted an invitation from a girl I met on Facebook to come to her house, on aforementioned prison base, for this viewing party. Definitely not sketchy at all, and I definitely didn't send Chris my location just in case I was about to get murdered. Alyssa and I just clicked when we met and she welcomed me into her existing friend group. I'm positive I'm still "Gabby Bachelor Night" in Alyssa's phone. We both love her dearly and are so thankful for her friendship.
